Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 277 Intrigue and deceit, loyalty and treachery are difficult to distinguish

Night, Nanyu County Guard's Mansion.

The courtyard where Qianyuan stayed on the west side was still brightly lit.The ongoing victory carnival in the city did not affect this place at all, it was still so silent.

He even walks lightly.

In the study, Qian Yuan was discussing the latest battle situation with Guo Jia.

Although Qianyuan was very confident during the day, and that performance was very inspiring, but Qianyuan was not dazzled by the victory.

The situation is still not good.

One or two local victories may change the direction of the war, but it is not enough to accumulate enough potential energy to reverse the situation of the war. From the overall perspective, the fiefdom is still in a passive situation.

Apart from Nanyu County, Zhaoyao County is not easy at all.

Just today, in view of the sudden appearance of the Sixth Division of the Southwest Corps in Zhaoyao County, Wei Wang Gantai has agreed to the request of the fourteenth prince and sent the Eighth Division of the Wei Wang Army to the front line.

In this way, the Chu Palace will invest a total of four divisions in the battlefield of Zhaoyao County, with a total of [-] troops, accounting for half of the total army size in the jurisdiction.

King Wei's firm will to capture Zhaoyao County can be seen in general.

Because King Wei knew very well that the alliance's siege was the only chance to defeat Qianyuan. Once Qianyuan turned around, the Wei Palace might never be able to set foot in Zhaoyao County again.

For this reason, King Wei would not hesitate to fight even if he lost the Psionic Fortress Cannon.

What angered Qian Yuan the most was that even under such circumstances, the imperial court did not move at all, allowing King Wei to perform in the western region.

Even Zhulong Kingdom and Beidi Kingdom cooperated exceptionally, reducing provocations at the border.

unknown,

I thought Qian Yuan was the public enemy of the mainland.

When King Wei increased his troops, the pressure on Ziyue increased greatly. With one against two, and with a new army, he knew how hard it would be to defend.

But there is no way, Qianyuan has no soldiers to adjust.

"How is the persuasion of the prisoners of the Izumo Army going?" Qian Yuan asked Guo Jia.

"Some progress has been made, but not enough to reorganize." Guo Jia is also frowning. If you are not sure of the sincerity of the prisoners of war, you will take a big risk to reorganize hastily.

Qian Yuan thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "It seems that some extraordinary measures have to be used."

"What is your Highness going to do?" Guo Jia asked.

Qian Yuan said: "First, don't hide anything about the results of our army's battle in Siyou County, and tell the prisoners all about it. Second, tell them that if they are willing to cooperate obediently, then we can guarantee their success in Siyou County." The safety of family members in Youjun. If not, then don't blame us for being cruel."

The Fourth Division of the Izumo Army has been stationed in Siyou County all year round, and more than [-]% of the soldiers in the army are from the mainland of Siyou County.Therefore, Qianyuan's threat is still very lethal.

If it is coupled with Xu Chu's massacre of the city, it will be more convincing.

Although this is not straightforward enough, and it may even leave a lot of hidden dangers, making these prisoners of war feel bad, but life and death are critical, and they can't take care of this much.

Let's go through this hurdle before we talk.

As for the prisoners of war captured by the king of Chu army today, it was too late to do the work of persuading them to surrender, so they could only be taken into custody.

"That's the only way to go." Guo Jia nodded.

"Then let's implement it overnight, separate the fighters who have softened their attitudes from other people, treat them differently in terms of accommodation, food, etc., and disintegrate their will from the inside." Qian Yuan added.

"The subordinate understands!"

…………

Just when Nanyu City fell into a carnival, Zhao Xianrang was ashamed when he got the news.

"It's over!"

Zhao Xianrang didn't dare to think carefully about how furious King Chu would be when he learned about this, and how he would deal with him, the defeated general and the culprit.

"I'm afraid I'm going to die." Zhao Xianrang smiled wryly.

Even so, with a little luck, he sorted out the battle report and sent it to the coalition commander Xiong Daoyuan and Chu Wangfu at the same time.

In the battle report, Zhao Xianrang attributed the main reason for the failure of this battle to the greedy and aggressive advance of the pursuing troops, so that they were ambushed by the enemy.

Pick yourself up clean.

Then, Zhao Xianrang gave the order that the troops stay in Lingqiu's mansion to wait for orders.

Waiting for fate to approve.

…………

Tianyu Mansion, the camp of the First Division of the King Chu Army.

Because of the close distance, Xiong Daoyuan received the battle report from Zhao Xianrang the next morning. After reading it, his whole body was in a bad state, and he yelled: "A bunch of trash!"

He had already planned to break out of the camp and attack Nanyu City in the near future, but suddenly came out like this.

Without the support of the Seventh Division, and with Xiong Daoyuan's courage, he would not dare to lead his troops to attack Nanyu City alone.

He's not that big of a deal yet.

Xiong Daoyuan knew very well that from beginning to end, it was the provisional army of the Southwest Corps that fought against the First Division.

The real elite of the enemy army has not yet appeared.

And Zhao Xianrang's battle report also proved from the side that Nanyu City is not an empty city, and the Southern Border Protectorate is doing its best to send reinforcements to Nanyu City.

Just that personal guard brigade is enough for Xiong Daoyuan to treat him seriously.

These days, Xu Chu's act of massacring the city has passed through Izumo's bloody and tearful accusation, and spread throughout the anti-Qin alliance.

Whether you agree or not, the strength lies there.

After a little thought, Xiong Daoyuan made a decision to order the army to rest in place temporarily, and at the same time asked the king of Chu to send the eighth division to join the battle immediately.

The Eighth Division of the King Chu Army was already on standby, so there should be no problem.

…………

Kunwu County, Chu Palace.

The secret letters between Zhao Xianrang and Xiong Daoyuan were sent to the Chu Palace one after another, and they were presented in front of the Chu King.

"Okay, very good, very good."

King Ganke of Chu showed a characteristic gloomy smile on his face, "This king dispatched two divisions to deal with a temporary division, and it's really good that they fought like this."

From the tone of voice, it is not difficult to listen to the wrath of King Chu.

Jia Xu and Dai Jin glanced at each other, but neither said anything.

Especially Jia Xu, after Dai Jin gained power, kept a low profile very tactfully, unless the King of Chu took the initiative to ask, he would never say a word or offer an extra plan.

Dai Jin was naturally happy to see this, and he was very active during this time.

After King Chu calmed down a bit, Dai Jin said: "Your Highness, I think General Xiong Daoyuan's suggestion is very good. As long as the Eighth Division is sent out, Nanyu City will undoubtedly be destroyed. I heard that His Highness King Qin declared that he would follow Nanyu City survives and dies together, wait until the day the city is broken, and see how it ends."

Dai Jin didn't believe Qian Yuan's rhetoric.

King Chu nodded.

There will definitely be more troops.

King Chu, who already had an enmity with Qianyuan, will only be more determined than King Wei Qiantai to destroy Qianyuan's heart. There is no reason to give up halfway when the war has reached this point.

Seeing that His Highness adopted his suggestion, Dai Jin became even more excited, and took the opportunity to say: "This defeat, although the former army underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, but Zhao Xianrang, as the commander of the division, bears the unshirkable responsibility. The next official suggests that the immediate dismissal Zhao Xianrang's division commander was escorted back to the city and sent to prison to await trial. This man was originally an ex-general of the Fourth Army, but he later betrayed the empire and joined Taixuzong's command; now he has been rebuilt and returned to the army. I really don't understand , How did such a family slave with three surnames get promoted step by step to be the head of the division."

He is going to mess with Jia Xu.

No one in the Chu Palace knows that Zhao Xianrang was recommended by Jia Xu to the Chu King.

Unexpectedly, King Chu's face turned cold. After being publicly accused by Qian Yuan of being a traitor, he became very sensitive to words like "betrayal".

When Dai Jin said this, he immediately poked King Chu's sore spot, and he didn't know if he did it on purpose.

These counselors are full of bad water, and they don't even blink.

King Ganke of Chu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Sir, what do you think should be done with Zhao Xianrang?"

Jia Xu said with a blank expression: "The defeated general should be arrested and interrogated. In addition, the lower officials did not know who they were, and they recommended Zhao Xianrang, so they are jointly and severally responsible. Your Highness earnestly punishes him."

"Hey~~"

The king of Chu waved his hand, "Sir, what's wrong with you? In war, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The Seventh Division is a new army, and there is always a chance for people to redeem themselves. Besides, the war is not over yet. It is a big taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle, and it is easy to shake the morale of the army. According to this king, let’s write this down first.”

No one expected that the King of Chu had such an attitude.

Dai Jin was dumbfounded, his eyes were full of disappointment and resentment, his hope of bringing down Jia Xu was completely dashed.

Jia Xu was still so happy and angry, and said: "Your Highness is thoughtful, but the lower officials are not thinking carefully." The posture is not ordinary low.

As smart as Jia Xu, he didn't know that this was another temptation of the King of Chu.

Moreover, King Ganke of Chu was not as magnanimous as he said, and he didn't say that he would not deal with Zhao Xianrang in the whole passage, and just put down a curse for the time being.

It is not only Zhao Xianrang, but also Jia Xu.

These princes,
The mind is not usually complicated.

"That's settled then."

King Ganke of Chu has completely recovered his calm, and partial failures cannot shake his heart.
